Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, has found himself in a sticky situation that’s keeping him glued to his own home – quite literally. Yep, you heard that right, he’s on house arrest! And it’s all because he decided to stir things up by sending some not-so-friendly vibes in the direction of none other than rapper Offset, the hubby of the sensational Cardi B.
So, let’s spill the tea on this. The drama unfolded when Kenneth Petty took to the virtual stage, or should we say Twitter, which now goes by the name X. It was on September 16th when he decided to get a bit chatty with Offset, and boy, did things heat up!
In a move that can only be described as “let’s stir the pot,” Kenneth posted video clips showing himself and his entourage outside a New York City residence. Now, why was this location important? Well, it’s presumed that Offset was holing up there. You know what they say, “When in doubt, share it on social media!”
In one of these controversial clips, Kenneth is caught on tape dishing out a threat that could give anyone the shivers. He boldly declared, “Plan that vacation, you gonna be planning your funeral pussy!” Ouch, talk about a direct hit!
Of course, in the age of social media, it didn’t take long for Offset to catch wind of Kenneth’s fiery words. Offset’s response was as cool as a cucumber on a hot summer day. He casually brushed off the threat, saying, “I’m getting off a jet, he’s funny.” Well, you’ve got to hand it to Offset for keeping his composure!
On September 20th, a court order was filed in sunny California, ordering Kenneth to stay put, under house arrest, no less. The official reason? Well, it seems that Kenneth got himself into hot water because he was “recorded on video making threatening remarks to a specific individual while in the company of someone with a criminal record.”
Now, if you’re thinking that Kenneth’s got a clean record otherwise, think again. He’s no stranger to the legal system’s revolving door. Just last year, in 2021, he got slapped with a conviction for failing to register as a sex offender. Then, in 2022, he dodged a bullet with a probation sentence. So, it’s safe to say that Kenneth has been riding the legal rollercoaster for a while now.
And here’s the cherry on top – Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, the queens of rap, had their own feud, and it was as public as a Hollywood red carpet. These two powerhouse artists slung words and even shoes at each other a couple of years ago. It was a rivalry that had fans and the entire music industry on the edge of their seats. So, it’s no wonder that when their husbands started making headlines, the world couldn’t help but turn up the drama dial a notch.
For now, it looks like Kenneth Petty is going to be serving his time in the comfort of his own home. Perhaps he can use this period of reflection to brush up on some conflict resolution skills, and maybe, just maybe, keep his threats to himself in the future. But as for now, the rap world continues to spin with its fair share of controversies and jaw-dropping moments, leaving us all eagerly waiting for the next episode of this spicy saga.
